    Mark Solms - A Neuroscientific Perspective on Freudian Dream Theory (Virtual Only)

    Sat Apr 13, 2024 10:00 AM - 12:00 PM PDT

    Online, Zoom

    Event Description:

    A series of discoveries about the dreaming brain between the 1950s and 1980s suggested that Freudian theory was scientifically disproven. Less well known is the fact that a series of discoveries from the 1990s onwards have steadily rolled back the claims made against Freudian theory. The implications for the neuroscientific standing of psychoanalysis are considerable. These two sets of discoveries and their implications will be described in this lecture.
